Is it true that most girls like sex and thinking about it as much as guys do, like they love doing sexual things as much as guys do so if you just ask them they will most likely say yes?? (link)
Yes to the first. No to the second.

Yes, girls like sex and they think about it as much as guys do. In principle, they love doing sexual things just as much - though what they like varies among individuals, of course.

However, just asking them and expecting a "yes" isn't generally going to work.

First of all, that doesn't work so well with guys either. Think about it - would you be willing to perform any sexual act a girl asked of you, on demand? I can't imagine that you would willingly perform ANY sexual act requested of you. By the tone of your question, I'm guessing you're pretty young, and believe me: there are a great deal of sexual acts that you haven't heard of or imagined yet. You're not going to like them all.

Second, what women find sexually exciting is not usually the same as what men like. There is a biological difference in how we're wired, so to speak. While most men get turned on by the idea of multiple partners and frequent, short-duration sex acts, women tend to prefer greater intensity with a single partner and long-term commitment. Of course, this is all a matter of generalities; there are always exceptions on both sides.

Also, bear in mind that women have more to risk when it comes to sex. Usually men are larger and stronger than women, and therefore women tend to be more vulnerable when it comes to sex. It is an act of trust on both sides, but men have a certain advantage in that they are generally physically capable of putting a stop to it if they so choose; women can have a harder time doing so if it comes to it. And, of course, there is the fact that it is the woman who runs the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Technically, a man can get a woman pregnant and then just walk away (though it is indecent and dishonorable to behave in such a way). Women can't simply decide not to have anything to do with a fetus growing inside them!

Finally, there is a social stigma that is unequally applied to the sexes. A man who is promiscuous will be considered a "stud" and receive praise and admiration from his fellows* - a woman will be regarded as a "slut", and will be shunned and abhorred. It's a double standard, but it exists nonetheless.

*(Note - there's really nothing to be proud of about having large numbers of sex partners. A real man measures his capacity for love and affection by quality, not quantity).)


So yes, women are just as sex-obsessed as men, overall. It's just that social pressures and basic realities make it so they don't generally express it as much.

I completely understand that girls will not say yes on the dot, neither would I, and i've heard of almost every sexual act out there which leads me to saying I would not perform anything a girl asks, I was just asking about the normal girls who like to have normal sex
